No special culture is required. Soil should be kept moist, however, especially in hot, sunny conditions. Noteworthy Characteristics An erect and spreading, medium hosta which features bright glossy, nearly round, heart-shaped, light yellowish green leaves and very large (3-4" long), waxy, trumpet-shaped, white, heavily fragrant flowers on scapes up to 30". A dependable and versatile perennial requiring little care. Grown for both its beautiful foliage and its large, fragrant flowers. Flowers are considered among the best in the Hosta genus. Dense foliage crowds out garden weeds. Sometimes commonly called August lily in reference to its late summer bloom time. Problems Although slugs and snails can be serious problems, and leaf spot and crown rot lesser problems, hostas are otherwise virtually disease and pest-free, and are ideal, low-maintenance garden perennials. Garden Uses A mainstay of the shade garden. This medium hosta can be mixed with other perennials in the border, woodland garden or natural area or can be massed to cover large areas. This species can be particularly effective as a specimen.
